​Environment

As our business grows, so does X5’s impact on the environment. We strive to reduce our environmental footprint using all available means.

Waste recycling and disposal

All waste generated by stores is transferred to third parties for landfilling or recycling.

Returnable containers

The Company is committed to lean manufacturing, which minimises the amounts of waste associated with deliveries of products from producers and DC-to-store transportation.

Environmental programmes and logistics

X5's logistics network adheres to principles of environmental safety, which enable the Company to cut down on the consumption of raw materials and energy while improving the quality of buildings and reducing maintenance costs.

Combatting corruption is a top priority for us, and we seek to ensure that our own anti-corruption standards are applied not only within the group, but through our supply chain as well.

Our ethical standards are made clear to all staff and suppliers upon commencement of involvement with X5 and are publically accessible on our website.

We continually strive to maintain high ethical standards through regular communication and training, self-compliance returns, an active whistleblower program, and vigorous follow up of allegations or breach alerts. The findings of such investigations are reported to the Management Board and the Audit Committee on a regular basis.
